A July 19th trial date was also set but Druckenmiller's attorneys say they'll press to have the case heard even earlier to get the matter over.
After leaving court, Druckenmiller was lead to the magistrate's office where a bail bondsman was in the process of posting a 10-thousand dollar secured bond on his behalf-- an amount that was agreed upon by his attorneys and prosecutors.
The former Virginia Tech quarterback, who now plays for the San Francisco 49-ers, was also fingerprinted inside the jail.
Druckenmiller is accused of raping a Virginia Tech student in early March.
The two apparently met at a Blacksburg bar while out drinking with friends.
Druckenmiller does admit the two later had sex but maintains it was consensual.
Before leaving the courthouse-- both he and his attorneys spoke briefly with reporters.
